What you can do with Cliento in Claude and ChatGPT

For salon and operations teams using Cliento.

Compare service prices and durations

Review the service catalog and compare how different resources offer each service, including their duration and price overrides.

Review tracked product stock

List products and inspect current balances for stock-tracked items. A missing balance is not treated as zero stock.

Trace recorded stock changes

Review stock movements for a product, following the recorded changes from oldest to newest. Newly created movements may take about ten seconds to appear.

Inspect resource configuration

Review resources, their display groups and online-booking settings when checking how the resource catalog is configured.

Review colour bar inventory

Inspect supplier ranges, shade items, barcodes and pack balances for a location’s colour bar catalog.

How do I connect Cliento?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Cliento API key.

Create an API key on your Cliento account page with the read scopes you need: staff:read, resources:read, services:read, products:read and stock:read. Optional product cost fields also need stock:cost. Scopes are fixed when a key is created. The Cliento API is currently Preview and may change. Billing and usage are per API key; rotating the key creates a separate identity. No customer, booking, recipe or health-record tools are provided.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http cliento https://cliento.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cliento": {
      "url": "https://cliento.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "cliento": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://cliento.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add cliento --url https://cliento.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login cliento

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://cliento.usefulapi.io/mcp

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Cliento API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Pricing

Proper API key$9/mo · $90/yr10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+per API key$39/mo · $390/yr100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this Cliento server only. Ask your AI to run cliento_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with cliento_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with cliento_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)cliento_usage_status
    Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
  • Request a missing featurecliento_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Cliento tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+cliento_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Cliento (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptioncliento_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Cliento Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run cliento_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Cliento in Claude or ChatGPT?

Compare service prices and durations. Review tracked product stock. Trace recorded stock changes. Inspect resource configuration. Review colour bar inventory. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Cliento product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cliento. The server calls the Cliento API with your own Cliento access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Cliento to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your Cliento API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my Cliento key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Cliento API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my Cliento credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Cliento API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Cliento.

Can the AI change my Cliento data?

All 18 Cliento tools are marked read-only.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Cliento server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run cliento_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run cliento_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run cliento_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Cliento tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with cliento_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
